California Energy Commission and the Air Resources Board have finally adopted the AB 2076 report. Even though, the entire excercise has been impressive, I think that the final recommendations are quite lame. Given that AB 1493 prohibits New fees or taxes on vehicles, fuel or miles traveled, a limitation or reduction in the speed limit or a limitation or reduction in vehicle miles traveled, the state had few options left.

While I have been away and not paying any attention, the senate made another lame effort to take the question of fuel economy seriously.
